I've head vapour injection systems aren't as good... Are they about $4-5K? I want a turbo but with petrol prices its inevitable that they're gonna drop in value, like all big cars, significantly probably very soon...My problem is - do I buy one, and use it for 3 years then sell it for 60% of what I paid? Or do I buy one and convert it with a direct injection LPG system? Or Do I buy something like and XR8 and then convert that due to the possibe cheaper conversion and cheaper tune costs? Or get something like a BA fairmont and put that on gas?I'm really struggling as of what to do...I really want a turbo - so bad, but my head says don't be stupid...But I need a new car and I want to enjoy it...So as you can see, I'm really confused, so any info on LPG direct injection would be really appreciated!Thanks,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a JTG system and only available from Australian LPG Warehouse and it's accredited installers.It's new so there is only a limited number of fitters and parts.They fitted it to a XR6T several weeks back, it made an extra 18 rwkw with no other changes made to the car. It only uses approx 5% more gas than petrol to do the same distance Edited 18/07/08 12:38 PM by ratter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
